even in the u.s. the numbers aren't sexy as you might say---not a lot of number one finishes obviously but its finished fifth for four straight weekends which is kind of unique in itself. so there's obviously a lot of word of mouth out there for what i think is a tremendously flawed film but people are going to see it. it's not going to be an oscar favorite but it will be an oscar player. > > we have a lot to look forward to at the box office this weekend. jack reacher, monsters, inc. 3d, this is 40, and the guilt trip. > > we've got a couple of good movies to look forward to--- jack reacher the tom cruise film did tremendous with mission impossible last year. this film's not going to do as good---this is a new franchise for him. it's going to be interesting to see people's reaction to it because the film does open with a very deadly sniper shooting and obviosuly we've had the newtown shootings this week so i'm wondering how people are going to react to that. but it still is a very good escapist thril
